Brother Langston, Local Editor of the
INTELLIGENCES, is mistaken aa to the
use we mako of our leather breeches :
wo use them when riding. Behool Corn*
missioners can't afford many pair? of
pacts, ami must protect tho few they
have.
School Commissioner to a number of
small boys : ''Hoys, can you tell me how
far it is over to tho colored school?"
Small boy with indignant air: "Why,
sir, does you want to git to teach a nigger
school?" We'll pnss round that boy
when wc meet him hereafter.
Is your teacher au earnest worker? Is
her heart in tho work ? Aro your chil
dren fond of her ? Do you like her, arid
like her plans? '?hon tell her so. Show
her thut you appreciate her untiring
efforts in behalf of your childron. It
will do her frood. It will make her a
better teacher.
We aro glnd to find that several schools
in the County outside of thc villages will
rim ten mouths. Tho patrons employ
tho teacher and ho gives them credit for
thc amount he gets from the public fund.
Mr. Compton in Fork, Mr. Stribling and
Miss Drake in Martin, Mr. Bagwell in
Helton, and others run their schools ten
months. We congratulate thc teachers
and commend tho patron? in thc several
communities. Wc wish those wcromauy
more euch schools. Tho future meu of
this County arc now tho bare-footed boys,
There aro jewels among them. Let us
look after them.
FREE PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
Mr. Editor ; As n friend of free pub
lic schools, wo write to thank you for
your editorial ou "Our Neighborhood
Schools," in tho Advocate ot tho ISth
inst. Our people need both instruction
und exhortation in this matter of the
?ducation of thoir children, and it seems
to IIB eminently right and proper that
tho Church papers should do their part
of this instructing and exhorting.
In 1(370, tho Commissioners of Foreign
Plantations addressed to tho Governors of
thc colonies, several questions relativo to
their condition. To one respecting thc
means of education, tho Governor of
Connecticut replied : "One-fourth of the
annual rovenue of the colony is laid out
in maintaining freo (common) schools
for the education of our children." To
tho same question, Oov. Bcrkoloy, of
Virginia, replied: "I thank God there
uro no freo schools nor printing, and I
hope wo shall not have these hundred
years." The^o two States aro fair speci
mens of tho two sections. If any deny
thiB, let him comparo tho illiteracy of thc
while people North and South, as given
in tho last United States census. Oue
set of States is known as tho "old Freo
School States." No Southern Stale is
found on this list.
For many long years the old Virginia
Governor has Blept with his nubers.
Penco to his ashes ! Tho opinion he
held of free schools still llve?, and may
bo found noarcr homo than thc Old Do
minion.
We quote a few figures from Prof. lt.
Means Davis's sketch of Education in
South Carolina, in the Hand Hool-of tho
State. From 1811 to 1852 tho State
appropriated about $37,000 a year for tho
support of free schools. Each parish or
district was allowed as many freo schools
os it had representatives iu tho lower
Mouse. Tho greatest number of pupils
any year was 10,718 (tu 1833). The
largest expenditure was$48,951 (in 1819),
during winch year the attendance was
only 3,002. In 1832, the Legislature, by
i closo vote, passed an act doubling tho
appropriation for free schools. After
that, 8omo $74,000 a year were annually
let apart for tho maintenance of tbeso
schools. In 1858, the attendance was
17,000; in 1854, 16.000, outside of
Charleston; in 1860, there wore 1,270
ichoola and 18,915 pupils ; in 1863, 823
ichools, 845 teachers, and 18,811 pupils.
Prof. Davis discusses the question why
.hin system of instruction bore BO little
"mit in the face of so mueh interest and
?o uiuny admirable attempts at its culti
vation. He says ono cause of failure
vas "the want of proper supervision and
'he consequent incompetency of teachers.
But thc Controlling cause, ho adds, of thc
'ailure of thc free school system teas, that
ts need was not felt bf the people. (Italics
ind capitals ours). Now, Mr. Editor,
heso causes exist to-day-not strong
mough to destroy our free BoboolB, yet
officient to seriously cripple their use
illness.
Our Stato Superintended has been
overely criticised. In fact, ho and the
morly paid teachers have received the
greater part of tho public criticism. Let
tim and them be criticised. Such a
ourse will do no barm, and may do
[oed. But the responsibilty of propor
upervision rests mainly upon the Dis
riot Trustees and tho County School
yommisoioners-not upon tho State Bu
terintendent. There are in tho Stat?
?,482 public schools. These average 4
non thu (80 days) a year. Were the
(tate Superintendent to visit one school
i day, it would take him forty-three years
o go round. But his critics say, and the
aw says, he should visit the counties.
Ie bas so little authority Over the connty
chool officials that but few good results
rould follow.
Colonel Thompson-in an annual re
tori for 1881, p. 35- naya: "County
School Commissioners should be respon
ible to some authority, and should be
[able to rem oyal for neglect of-doty."
Alst year Colonel Coward used his i n ll ti
nco and his authority to induce the
espectlve County School Commissioner's
o make necessary arrangements, aa the
sw authorizes them to do, for conduct
eg County Normal Institutes ; yet but
bur counties, of the thirty-Jour, held
ooh Instituto. To expect our State
luperintendent to do. ail . the "proper
upervising" ef our schools, would be is
in reasonable as to expect tho Com pt roll
r General and the, Stat? Treasurer to do
ll tho work of the County Auditors and
banty Treasurers. Let the people
equlre this "proper supervision," but let
hem demand It from the local nu thori
te?, tho District Trust?es and County
Ichool Commissioners, who hot only
lave time and authority to do this w?lk,
mt whom the law says ah al? do thia daly.
Cities that hive well organized ?chool

is necetsary. Every reader of thia pap<r
can help to work up such revival. If le
is H friend of education, let him real,
and think, and talk, and write aboit
education. If a teacher, let him haw
school celcbrutious in which thc children
can tako part, and which tbe citizens if
the community can attend. Let mei
who can talk, and will talk educatioi,
address thc people upon these occasions
Let him write articles on common achooa
for his County paper. If the reader bea
preacher let him talk education as le
moves about among tho people, discussit
around the fireside in tho winter nud ti
tho piazza in summer. Let him frcin
his pulpit preach education-the rightof
every child to have au education-aid
thc interest, the right, the duty of tlo
State-to place the privilege of a ire
common school within easy reach >f
every child in the State. An occasional
sermon on such subjects would, to tao
average congr?gation, be about as inter?
esting as, and much mote holp than a
learned discourse ou the "five points >f
Calvinism," or on the question, "WIo
was Melchisedec ?" Free schools are
indeed "un outgrowth and an index of
our Christian civilization."
Is it not as appropriate for a preacter
to preach on, to work for and to pray fjr,
tho causo of popular education, as tho
cause of prohibition ?-WM. S. MOB.1I'
SON, tn Southern Christian Advocate.
Strange Restoration*
An odd restitution was made at Speu
ccrvillo near Newport, last week, tbat
contaiue all tho elements of romance.
For a good many years Mr. W. D. Spa
cer has been n citizen of Spencerviile,
coming there originally from Easttru
Tennessee. Spencerviile is a suall
town five miles from Newport, tho lutter
city being located on tho lino of the St.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern rail
road. For many years Mr. Spoucer has
pursued tho business of farming and run
ning a store in Spencerviile, and ha?, by
business energy and thrift, accumulated
n very comfortable fortune. He has
become so identified with Spencerviile
and its interests that his neighbors have
long since ceased to remember that he
wiiB not always a neighbor, and that he
came to that County a stranger with an
unknown history. Mr. Spencer never
married, but pursued his bachelor way
with quietr.-ss, although several maiden
ladies cherished hopes from timo to lime
that were never destined to ripon into
the flowers of connubial bliss, and faded
one by one ns the envied object gathered
moro worldly goods from year to year.
It can be imagined, therefore, how like
a thunder-Dolt ' -om a clear sky tho start
ling intelligence fell upon the community
that two strangers, oflicers from Tennes
see, had arrived aud had charged their
respected townsmen with n crime com
mitted in Tennessee seventeen years
before. Dut their astonishment became
consternation when Mr. Spencer said to
the oflicers: "Gentlemen, I am the mau
you are after. Tho crime you charge me
with, I committed."
Thu oflicers informed him that they had
come to take him back to Tennessee and
let him suffer punishment for that which
ho had confessetl ho had committed.
Mr. Spencer then said-(an eye-witness
related the story toa Gazette reporter yes
terday evening :)
"Seveuteen years ago, when I was a
more boy, two other young men and my
self in a drunken spree broke into a store
in our town in Tennessee and robbed it
of $800 in money. Wc divided the mon
ey and run away. I was wild and reck
less, but I was not a thief, and before
God I do not think I could have been
persuaded into this crime if I had been
sober. Hut we took the money and tho
shadow of tho crime has haunted my
lifo over sinco. I have tried to live down
my conscience in this quiet und peaceful
?1 nee, bul I have not been able to do so.
am glad you havo como, and am ready
to go with you. I want to make full
restitution for what I did seventeen years
ago. I hnve made money, and want to
pay back all of that blood money. I
want to pay tho $800, although the other
boys got part of it, and interest on it for
seventeen years. It is all I cnn do.
Nothing will clear my heart of tho stain,
but I can at least restore this money."
Mr. Spencer then figured out the inter
est on the total amount of the stolon
money, and pnid over to tho oflicers over
$2,000, and to that extent wiped out the
past.
"Now, gentlemen," he said, "I don't
want you to keep this secret. I want
everybody to know that I have been ?
thief. It is my expiation. I want them
to know that I have done all in my pow
er beforo God to efface my crime. If I
suffer in the eyes of my neighbors, it is
just. I hnve deserved it.''
The informant of tho reporter said thal
this quiet but pathetic acceptance- of his
fate visibly affected the oflicers of the
law, who stood lhere with a requisition
from Governor Hughes to talco a prisoner
back to his old home. Their eyes became
moist at' the spectacle of the agony of
the lonely bachelor whom wealth could
not make happy, and felt that bia lifo
was n failure. They conferred among
themselves, and decided that they would
not proceed further. The money had
been recovered with long years of inter
Bat. Mr. Spencer had beon punished.
His conscience had been a sovere judge.
And after a few hours they left Spoucer
ville and returned to Tennessee, leaving
Spencer freer and happier than he had
been for seventeen years.-Arkansas Ga'

An Aged Coir.
The following ia a good story concern
ing a town bred curato, who had consent
ed to do doty on Sunday for his friend,
the rector of n country parish in the
Midlands. The subject of the morning
jo rm on was the parable of the prodigal
ion; nod, in,the hope; of impressing
upon his hearers the joy rr blob, the pa
triarch felt On the return of his SOB, os
Instanced by his ordering tho fatted calf
to bo killed, tho young curate felt.a par
donable pride in dwelling upon a snbject
which could not fail to bc comprehensi
ble to the dullest ?lowboy in tho congre
gation. "Remember," he said, "this was
no ordinary calf which waa to bo killed ;
lt was no common calf or beast suffering
from murrain, no half-starved calf slowly
awaiting death. No, it was not morely a
Tatted calf, but" (becoming more impres
sive) "lt waa the fatted calf, which had
been prised' and lived by tho family
for many years," A sea of wida eyes
und gaping mouths arrested far a mo

Thc Great Society War.
The simmering of tho social stew
which is to bo nerved piping k'il next
December may already bo distinct!)
heard at times. It begins with the dis
position to be made of the lady of the
White House, Misa Cleveland. There
seems to bo no intention to resort to vio
lence, a? has sometimes been dene at
White House reception?. Miss Cleve
land is to bo permitted at the White
House to be tho first lady of the land.
Hut there, according to ihe law of the
social female Congress now in secret ses
sion, her dominion is to end. Outside of
tho Executive Mansion and grounds the
vice-President's wife la to rank as first
and thc President's sister second. Thc
second in importance among the already
celebrated case? pending is that of Miss
JJayard, the daughter of the Secretary of
State, who, when her mother is ill, as
sumes her duties. This is not to be en
dured by the wives of other Cabinet of
ficers. Wives are to come beforo sisters
and daughters, even though their hus
bands be somewhat lower in station.
Thc exact status of Mrs. IJlainc as the
lady of thc defeated candidate for the
Presidency ha* not yet been decided
upon; but if it is not somewhere high
enough up to create commotion and re
sistance it will bc because James Q. has
forgotten his diplomacy und ( Jail Hamil

tho country will certainly be treated to
their full share of entertainment in the
settlement of great questions next Win

revision and silver coinage will come

wives of official nabobs shall smilo at
those below them, and gaze with unaf
fected wonder upon some of those above.

old fellows like Carland, Randall and
the President himself ; buta little of it
goes a great way among the gentler sex.

How a Lover Lost Ills Lady.
Two young ladies were overheard
talking glibly and confidentially on a
suburban train. "Now, Mary," said one,
"tell rae why Charlie Mid you quarreled."
"Well, you kno-./ ho's been coming to
ace mo for two yep.ra, and I could see
just as plain OB anybody else that he was
head over heels ir, lo fe with me. But he
didn't Ecein to have any snap tohim, and
I got real impatient, just as any girl
would have done. A few nights before
Christmas he called to Fee me, and before
ho went away I said : "Charlie, I want
to make you a Christmas present, but I
want to be sure it will suit you. It is
something real nice, warm, useful and
ornamental, and will always stay with
you." "A scarf ?" he said. "No, not a
scarf," I said, "though it might embrace
you. It weighs about a hundred pounds,
and I've heard you say you thought it
very precious." "Oh, I know," he said,
"a bicycle." By this time I was nearly
mad, but I made one more effort. "Not
a bicycle," I said, "but it can wnlk, has a
mouth, pretty bair, and is very affection
ate." "Now I know," he said, aud whit
do you think tho ninny guessed that
time? A big Newfoundland dog! I
was never so disgusted in my life, and
bavo not seen Charlie since. He's treat
ed me real mean, and now leap year is
gone, and I hate him. Oh, there he is
now at the other end of the car. Ain't
ho sweet ? I wish he would come and
talk to us."
Fearful Talc.
A fearful story is that told by a dia
gram in the Christian Union comparing
the annual expenditure hf the United
States for intoxicating liquors with vari
ous other of the largest items of expen
ditures, based upon tho census reports of
1880 and other reliable authorities. The
amounts thus given are:
"Lii|Uor, $900,000,000 ; bread, $505,
000,000 ; meat, 1303,000,000 ; iron and
Bteel, $200,000,000 ; woolen poods, $237,
000,000; sawed lumber, $232,000,000;
cotton goods, $210,000,000; boots and
shoes, $100,000,000 ; sugar and molasses,
?155,000,000 ; public education, $85,000,
D00 ; Christian missions, Hume and For
eign, $5,000,000.
It will be seen from these figures that
nearly twice as much is epent annually
for liquors as for bread, the staff of life,
ind nearly three times as mush as for
woolen or cotton goods, and one hundred
ind sixty-three times as much as is given
for the extension of tho Gospel. What
i fearful revelation this is, and what a
Jauger it threatens to tho life of our
country.
